And the money of account was the money of account of the United States
of America.

But the former could never properly be called the "money of account of
the United States", while the bankers used the term just to describe the
credits in their credit accounts. I think I see what you mean now, and
I think you also see what I mean. The only "money of account" that can
attach to me is the money of account of the United States. Money of a
banker's account can be whatever they wish to call it, because it has
nothing whatsoever to do with me.

The original departure from reality to the world of imagination...very
interesting.

I think I knew that.

But the first is the one that counts, that is referred to in the

We agree. I maintain that life on Planet Earth without bankers is a
distinct possibility. I prove it.
